This is grossly dark. These are broken people.

But it's also so politically dumb.

How do they think Americans will react to being told that anyone who doesn't support Trump is a terrorist?

I notice all those brave journalists, Guido alumni, and Tory hacks, who manufactured a scandal - a dangerous one to national security, at that - out of gossip, supposition, and sticky tape, have gone ALL QUIET now the witness statements have been released and are exactly as the PM detailed at PMQs.

UK travellers should expect "four-hour queues" as new EU border system comes into force. Brexit really is the gift that keeps giving

Tommy Robinson says Elon Musk is paying his legal costs as trial begins Far-right activist is accused of refusing to comply with counter-terrorism police request at Channel tunnel

Elon Musk is paying Tommy Robinson's legal bills.

The British media and political establishment is still on X and maybe this is the wake up call they need.

Priti Patel on the person that burnt the Koran - I fundamentally believe in free speech. Thirty seconds later on the Palestinian anti-genocide protestors - these "hate marches" are completely unacceptable.

Richard Tice - "Please welcome to the stage... Nathan Gill"

So much for Tice's claim to have never met Nathan Gill.

'It feels like British politics has become some grotesque carnival' Policies from Farage and Badenoch for mass deportations and ICE-style removal squads are the antithesis of everything Britain stands for, our Writer…

Deportation Nation: How Farage and Badenoch are tearing Britain apart

Reform and the Tories are in a race to the bottom on race with their policies for mass deportations and ICE-style removal squads. They disgrace this country

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues.

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

Sorry, but if you're saying those implausible and shallow Kemi Badenoch announcements constitute a good speech then you're part of the UK's political problem.

Same half-baked "tax cut good / international commitments bad" bearing no resemblance to well formed policy.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I don't think there is any substantive difference between Reform and the Tories on asylum or justice anymore. We don't have a centre-right party.

Another catastrophic gaff at the Conference nobody is talking about

The Board of Deputies’ response to the Israeli government inviting Tommy Robinson to visit

Imagine if Trump and MAGA found out Jesus was from the Middle East and had olive brown skin. DO NOT SHARE THIS!!!!

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

How weird that this should have disappeared from the Telegraph archive...

Are these comments are too Woolley !

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

Reform's plan for a benefit clampdown Sir, Regarding Reform's plan to ban foreigners from claiming benefits ("Farage visas would make it harder to settle in the UK", news, Sep 22; "Time's Up", leading article, Sep 23), in my small company for the past ten years we have employed, on a yearly average, 32 eastern European people, two of them in senior management positions. They all pay British taxes and have had little or no unexplained absences to date. Sick leave for them is extremely low. As far as I am aware, none of them is claiming benefits for dependants. These diligent people provide compassionate care for their clients, living with them for a few weeks at a time. During the pandemic they were responsible for ensuring zero transmission of the virus to people in their care. I feel utterly ashamed that many of them will be reading about Nigel Farage's plan on their various social media platforms this morning. Chrstina Sell Managing director, Arbour

Our politics and media have become viciously obsessed with immigration. Farage has made sure of it. And in that obsession, they’ve all lost sight of the people they target. Fellow human beings trying to live and belong somewhere.
Shame on everyone responsible for this daily inhumanity
(Letter,Times)

Just to be clear:
- Paracetamol does not cause autism.
- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.
- Britain is not on the verge of civil war.
These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

A lot of sensible people get squeamish at labelling Nigel Farage “far-right”, but his policy of cancelling the legal status of tens of thousands of settled immigrants can not be politically described as anything else.

Reform are campaigning on a policy of cruelty & xenophobia.

As a so-called intellectual it’s both sad and disturbing that this sort of rhetoric draws so little criticism. Let’s be clear, to this sort of revolutionary the academics would only be first.

Trump:

"Everybody understand? Death penalty in Washington. You kill somebody or if you kill a police offier, law enforcement officer - death penalty."

The president who, on his first day back in office, pardoned people convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers on January 6th.

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

Bit late I suspect

.. and most importantly that both Reform and Conservatives -and much of the media- are using irregular migration as an excuse to attack the rights of legal migrants to the UK, using both language and the policies of Enoch Powell, and that there should be no tolerance or appeasement of this racism.
